The Wedding Present – ‘Going, Going’ | Album Preview

Going, Going… is out now in the UK & out December 2nd in North America via HHBTM Records.

After nearly 30 years in the game, you’d forgive indie rock group The Wedding Present for slowing down and taking it easy. However, David Gedge, the spearhead of TWP, has no intention of doing so. The group’s latest work is a twenty song, double LP opus inspired by a cross country drive across America. On top of that, each song has an accompanying video.

Collectively, the work does not feel like a group of songs but a train of thought as instrumentals segue into rousing rock tracks and reflective love songs. You can listen to a selection from the album and watch a couple of the videos below the tour dates.

Jamie Coughlan is the founder of Overblown. He talks a lot about himself and is totally pretentious. Terrible with personal finances. Loves beer gardens. He has written for the RTE Guide, A Music Blog, Yea?, The Thin Air, Gigwise, and is a contributor to The Tipping Point.

Overblown is all about subterranean music. We aim to champion bands and record labels that we are passionate about and are overlooked and undervalued by the mainstream media machine, while still paying homage to the iconic bands and labels who laid and developed the groundwork for today’s emerging talent. Whether it is post punk, shoegaze, sludge metal, noise rock, or anything in between, we want to bring these alternative music genres to the fore.
